The only error I get in the mail log is:
Aug 3 11:00:09 fusion dovecot: imap-login: Aborted login (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<benny>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured
Get it to log more with auth_verbose=yes, and perhaps even auth_debug_passwords=yes.
And sure enough, there it is:
Aug 3 12:15:23 fusion dovecot: auth(default): client in: AUTH 1
PLAIN service=imap secured lip=127.0.0.1 rip=127.0.0.1 lport=143
rport=19068 resp=<hidden>

Aug 3 12:15:23 fusion dovecot: auth(default): bsdauth(benny,127.0.0.1):
password mismatch
The "password mismatch" would suggest that Squirrelmail may be having a problem, which I have asked about on their list. However, just to cover my bases, is there something else that could have happened that would be causing dovecot to get *random* password mismatch errors?
Thank you so much!
